A new scanner may have been shipped from the factory with a Null Inter-
face (no interface type selected) to ensure system compatibility at installa-
tion. In this case, the correct Interface Type programming bar code must be
scanned first before the scanner can be used with a POS system.
NOTE
If the scanner's interface type must be changed, always be sure that inter-
face configuration is the FIRST item scanned during a programming ses-
sion. (Selecting an interface type resets ALL other configuration items to
the factory default for that interface type.)
NOTE
Great care should be taken to select the correct interface type, since you
can cause damage to the scanner and/or POS terminal by attempting to
change to an incompatible interface. ALWAYS make interface selections
with the host cable DISCONNECTED.
CAUTION
When an interface is selected, the scanner loads the configuration for that
interface as the selection is made. Any custom configurations done in the
previous interface will not be carried over to the configuration for the new
interface.
NOTE
You'll need to cover any unused bar codes adjacent to and on any facing pages to ensure
the scanner reads only the bar code you intend to scan.
code.
Once the correct interface has been set, it will be necessary to proceed to
the appropriate pages in this manual that select parameters and options
for that interface. For example, if RS-232 is selected, turn to the pages in
this manual headed as features specific to the RS-232 interface.
